8 INGREDIENT SALSA

Homemade salsa is delicious. It's just a fact. Ever since Michael and I found the most perfect salsa at a tiny restaurant in RVA I've been trying my best to replicate it. With this recipe, I think I've almost got it! Clearly there isn't a whole lotta skill when it comes to mashing things together to make salsa, but dang it's good.

What you'll need:

9 large roma tomatoes

1/2 small onion (diced)

3 large cloves garlic (minced)

1 medium jalapeño (minced)

seasoning: 1/4 teaspoon salt & 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice (optional)
1/4 cup cilantro

How to make it happen:

Step 1: De-seed your jalapeño and throw it into a food processor along with your garlic cloves. Process until minced.

Step 2: Parboil your tomatoes & peel the skins off. De-seed and lightly process in the food processor. If you like your salsa smooth, go crazy. If you like it chunky, process half the tomatoes and dice up the rest.

I'm game! Salsa, chips and margaritas are the ingredients to a perfect night in my opinion! A tip I've figured out over years of salsa making is to be sure to salt liberally. Adding a bit of salt to your salsa may be exactly what you need to make it match your favorite salsa!
